IN presenting the following thoughts on the Book of the Revelation to the general reader, the writer would invite careful comparison with the teaching of the word of God. Where he has departed from the generally received text of the English authorized version of the Holy Scriptures, he has followed the well-known translation by J. N. D. (Morrish, 20, Paternoster Square, London, E. C.). The thoughts are the outcome of many years consideration of the contents of the book, and as such they are presented with the hope and prayer that believers may receive edification and blessing therefrom, and that unconverted souls may be warned to find a refuge and salvation in Christ.
